My gut tells me that Texas, particularly Austin and Houston, could be where the next wave of growth and expansion occurs, mainly driven by strong business and job creation trends.Here’s what I’m looking for in my US investments:Free-standing houses with a good land component, at least 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, and in well-maintained condition.Budget : Will have to keep a factor of safety for the current exchange rates of AUD.USD = 0.68 so will cap our budget at 250K- 300K.Yielding over 6%, with a slight cash flow positive outcome, while also offering medium-term capital appreciation potential.Holding for at least 5 years or more, with a view towards steady growth.The long-term goal is financial independence, reducing reliance on salary-based income, and building assets during this accumulation phase.Debt reduction is on the horizon—looking to consolidate and start winding down debt within the next 7 years.If anyone has experience investing in the Texas real estate market or any tips on navigating US property investments, feel free to share your thoughts!

My goal will be to create more passive income - I don't want to manage properties.My thinking is to first try and do a SFH BRRR locally (in state) for cash flow and learn the ropes some.

If your goal is long-term growth with a balance of rental income and appreciation, Mesa and Gilbert stand out because of their strong job markets, high quality of life, and high rental demand.

If all that meets my investing goals, I will read the PPM.  

While automation and advanced technologies help with this goal, another strategy that is often overlooked is cost segregation.

(including Auroa, Lakewood, Golden, Boulder, Arvada, Etc) 💫 My goal with bigger pockets is to help as many investors as possible to find the exact home that accommodates all their needs. 🏠 I first got interested in Real Estate investing since I was 18 years old.

It all starts with becoming an expert in your market, creating broker relationships, understanding what your goals are, learning and applying the framework.And not to jump around to the next shiny object.  

When it comes to individual properties, maybe—especially if you don't have an experienced and trusted investment team in place.Before I continue, what is the goal of goal of real estate investing?

.- **Long-term Goals**: Think about your long-term investment strategy.

@Adolphus Fletcher - If you're main goal is to build business credit there are different avenues to do so including: obtaining and unsecured line of credit for the business, applying for a business credit card, applying for business accounts such as Home Depot/Lowes, etc...
